My oldest UFO

Back in 1988, I went to the first NSW Quilt Guild's Quilt Symposium held in Armidale NSW. It was the first of its kind and a group of us spent four days(??) doing various classes from a wide range of tutors.One of the classes I did was machine quilting - using a walking foot - we had to pre-prepare a panel and in the class we quilted. This was all before fabric markers that vanished, so it seems we marked in pencil. I finished the panel at the time and it has been sitting / hiding ever since.(One interstate move and one house move)In 2011 I joined up with Sew Its Finished and Marti's Challenge of 12 projects in a year and it was to be one of the projects that I completed that year. When the time came I couldn't find that dratted piece anywhere...(must have had a "tidy up" binge!!)...So I found another project.Finally, it's a cushion

Very pretty result, worth the wait! Don't you hate it when things go missing? I'm searching for my quilter's design pad and graph pads. I know they have to be in my sewing room somewhere but I must have put them in a really safe place!
